Greetings from SNIS! It s that time of year again when we all can start thinking about putting away the overcoats (or sweaters for our southern friends) in anticipation of the first signs of spring. It s a new season, welcome warmth, and much anticipation about what is to come. Here at SNIS, it s a time of anticipation as well. As we fully engage in the planning for the SNIS 8th Annual Meeting, we look forward to all that is familiar about this renowned forum. After all, it has come to be the scientific destination for neurointerventionists, and, as such, is the one annual meeting that can be counted on to offer the most in-depth educational program around neurovascular treatments, the best opportunities for our practitioners to network with you, our industry friends, and the most visible platform for the latest research unveilings in our ever-evolving field. But as much as we pride ourselves on just how far we have evolved this meeting since its beginnings, we take just as much pride in anticipating all that we can do to make this forum even more relevant more valuable and more satisfying in both its programmatic elements as well as its other offerings. For the past seven years, our commitment to innovation has been seen in meeting features including hands-on workshops; industry sneak peeks; expanded sessions on certain condition areas; poster and oral abstracts; lively debate forums; and, most recently, a two-day training course for fellows and the future leaders of our field. This year, our program once again delivers on creativity and cutting-edge medicine. As we continue to work behind the scenes to fulfill our mission of advancing the medicine and treatments that can address the many serious conditions that can change the course of any one patient s life, we are grateful for your constancy and support along the journey. For SNIS, your partnership ensures that the Annual Meeting will continue to thrive and grow in stature and impact on neurointerventional practitioners around the world. And for you, we trust it facilitates wonderful opportunities to educate both veterans and novices on the technology and treatments that can make a difference in their clinical practice, as well as to stay abreast of the newest developments in a field that is undergoing one of the most rapid growth periods of any medical specialty today. We look forward to your presence in Colorado Springs, July 25-28, at the esteemed Broadmoor Hotel. And we thank you for your generous support and everything you do to make sure that both collectively, and individually, our practitioners can make a difference. At the end of the day, it s all about a commitment to excellence that leads to transformative change on the landscape of cerebrovascular disease. Thank you for helping to lead the march in this space and create an environment where advancement is continually possible. See you in Colorado Springs! 2
